The grisly murder of a priest leads a local homicide detective and a FBI Profiler into the brutal world of cannibalism and the mystical depths of the Divine Hunger.

SYNOPSIS:

A priest is beheaded and brutally slaughtered on the altar of his church. The priest’s head and several internal organs are missing. There is distinct evidence that cannibalism is involved. The case is assigned to Elliot Cole, a talented homicide detective but before he can begin the investigation the FBI steps in and takes over the case. Agent Rebecca Conner is the agent in charge.

Agent Conner has been tracking the killer across the country for three years. Agent Conner is a no nonsense Profiler who is very possessive of the case. She was the one who initially connected the dots and discovered there was a serial killer at work. A case she has been fighting the good ole boy network in the FBI to keep. Elliot doesn’t like the FBI or Agent Conner but is forced to work with her.

The priest is not the killer’s first victim. There are twenty-seven more Agent Conner has connected to the killer. A second murder, equally brutal, escalates the hunt. They consult a local anthropologist for help. The insights provided by the anthropologist also stir up suspicions. A video tape from a hidden camera in the second victim’s apartment further inflames those suspicions.

The anthropologist disappears. Elliot takes Agent Conner to meet Uncle Bob. Uncle Bob is a respected anthropologist who has helped Elliot with earlier cases and just happens to be Elliot’s only living relative. Uncle Bob provides insight and a warning,” This man is a hunter; don’t be surprised if he starts hunting you.”

Agent Conner is attacked and nearly killed by the Cannibal. Elliot shoots the Cannibal and saves her. The Cannibal’s body mysteriously disappears before they can identify it.

Elliot is later taken prisoner by the Cannibal and finds his own head on the chopping block. Elliot manages to escape and after a bloody fight kills the Cannibal. Only then does he discover the terrifying secret of the Divine Hunger.
